Cancer genomics

This unit will enable you to gain knowledge on the application of genome sequencing in the diagnoses and clinical management of cancer. You will learn about the different mechanisms that drive cancers and how integrative -omics can be applied to understanding cancer. You will learn about the types of somatic and germline cancer mutations that develop and how they are identified. You will apply genome curation techniques to analyse cancer genomes and learn how to identify clinically relevant sequence variants. The unit is designed to develop real-world skills in using cancer genome databases and generating clinical genome analysis reports.
